The Price of Wings

LOST [Intro — soft, magical] Deep beneath the moonlit sky, Inside a tiny tree, A little fairy lived alone, As lonely as could be. Too clumsy for the fairy court, Too awkward for their games, She dropped her wand and coughed up dust, While everyone called names. [Verse 1] She couldn’t be a tooth fairy, She wasn’t good enough. Her wings were torn, her wand was dropped, The teasing got too much. So one night underneath the stars, She whispered to the sky, “I wish that I could just be human, I wish that I could fly…” A shooting star came falling down, It answered with a glow. She closed her eyes and made her wish… But didn’t know the cost. [Chorus] She woke up much taller, Her tiny wings were gone. Her little treehouse couldn’t hold her, Her fairy life was done. She smiled and cried, “I’m human now, My wish has finally come true.” But underneath her shadow stood A demon she never knew. [Verse 2 — darker] She walked into the human world, And everywhere she went, The flowers died beneath her feet, The sky grew black and red. She raised her hand and flames appeared, She thought it was a gift. She didn’t know the fire she made Was bringing Earth to ruin. The rivers rose, the buildings burned, The heavens filled with smoke. And still she thought she was a girl Who’d finally learned to cope. [Bridge — quiet] Back in the fairy kingdom, They opened up a book. An ancient prophecy was there, And finally they looked. They saw the little fairy They’d laughed at every day. The one they should have helped to fly, The one they pushed away. [Final Chorus — powerful] She never wanted destruction, She only wanted love. She wished to be a human, But something else woke up. A chaos demon walks the Earth, With fire inside her soul. And now the fairies understand… They helped create it all. [Outro — slow, haunting, sung] If they looked inside the ancient book, You will see what they find… That dainty, clumsy fairy… Will end all human kind.
